It's very unlikely they'll play each other. Tiger needs to make the fedex playoffs to have a chance at a spot, IMO. If he misses the playoffs, he won't have played competitively for 6 weeks before the Ryder cup. That's too long.

Luckily the picks don't have to be made until September so there is plenty of time to see how everybody is playing. The biggest name, Tiger, will get that much more playing time and if he doesn't step up his game, Watson will leave him off the team. If he wins a tournament or two, I don't see how Watson could leave him off. I would be shocked if Stricker got picked because of his lack of links golf recently (even though his game isn't that bad for links golf) and the way he played in the last Ryder Cup.

My 3 based on right now would be: Keegan Bradley Phil Mickelson Brendon Todd (on fire right now, but will probably cool off before September)

Obviously Jack doesn't read TigerRant

“I couldn’t imagine a Ryder Cup team without him, unless he’s done nothing between now and then with his game,” Nicklaus said. “If I were the captain I would be hard pressed, I don’t care what he does. If he wants to play I would choose him, and I would guess Tom (Watson) feels the same way. Anybody in their right mind, unless (Woods) doesn’t want to play, would choose him.”

Kevin Na.

In the 4 weeks leading up to the Ryder Cup, I would lock him in a closest and pipe in Johnny Miller's commentaries at a whispers volume and have the clip of Na making the 16 in Texas playing on a continuous loop.

Then I would play his psychologically shattered arse against Ian Poulter every fricking day.
